Amarillo City Council will meet tomorrow afternoon to discuss just over three million dollars in spending spread across 9 agenda items.

The largest single item, totalling nearly $1.6 million dollars, is for the construction of an events pavilion at the Santa Fe Depot. According to city documents, the pavilion is “to be used by multiple vendors using the Civic Center Outdoor Event Spaces.” The money will be given to Panhandle Steel Buildings if approved.

The next largest item, totalling just over half a million dollars, is for an upgrade to the “Building Automation System (BAS)” at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport. The city’s summary of the item is as follows:

“This project is for the terminal building only and includes the replacement of the existing Honeywell LONworks based Building Automation System (BAS) with a new non-proprietary DDC BACnet controls system, including new software and graphical interface. The base bid package will include replacement of the existing LONworks system level controllers and major HVAC system level controllers serving the Chiller and Boiler Plants. The additional alternate bid will include replacement of existing Unit Level controllers with new BACnet controllers for equipment such as Air Handling Units, VAV Terminal Units, DX Split Systems, Exhaust/Supply fans, Rooftop HVAC units, Pre-Conditioned AC units and an allowance of quantities of sensors and control devices.”

The contract is set to go to Trane Technologies.
